The Chevrolet Impala I own has had major problems about a month after I bought the car.... the whole electrical area in the front has went haywire on me.... I cannot signal, or turn my bright lights on at any time.... plus, it will not start for me when I need it to, I always have to get a jump from someone, & that even takes between 10-20 minutes.... the place that I bought it from, the repairmen cannot fix it right for me, it is not fair to pay all this money for my car, which will not work right... I have not been able to use my signals for a very long time now, it is very, very frustrating to me.... I have been stranded on the streets, the highway, even at work after my shift, it has even stopped on me while taking my kids to & from school....
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while stopped at a median, another vehicle that was driving approximately 55 mph crashed into the front passenger's side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot. An independent mechanic repaired the vehicle however, the contact stated that the horn and the drivers side headlight failed shortly afterward. The failure mileage was 200,000.
From time to time I hear some banging noise like someone is in my trunk or like it the side. I'm not sure what it. Also my power steering make noise all the time. And my driver side headlight bulb comes loose and blows out a lot. It seems like it's something with the connector. To many issues with this car.

The electrical in the car is messed up. I turn to the right and my radio shuts off, also if its dark out and my lights are on and I put the windows down the lights down as I'm pressing the button to put them down.
At the time my Chevy had 105,000 miles on it the transmission went out, so I got it rebuilt it hasn't quite been a year a now the new transmission is stalling and not shifting correctly at times. Also when using my turn signal to turn just as the wheel straightens up and the turn signal turns off it triggers the high beams to come on, this only happens if it's cold out or raining.
